Our Breeding Practices
RULE#1
DO NOT BREED TOO
EARLY
We do not allow female dogs to breed with males until the second heat cycle to
protect the uterus of the female dame. By waiting until the second heat cycle,
(Approx 14 months of age), the female has a fully developed uterus and is able
to produce a healthy litter of puppies.
RULE #2
DO NOT IN-BREED
We do not allow a male and female dog that have the same mother and father to breed even if both dogs come from separate litters. By following this practice, we ensure that female Pomeranian will produce a healthy litter of puppies.
RULE #3
DO NOT
OVER-BREED
It is best practice to only
allow a female Pomeranian adult to only have a maximum of three litters and get
them spayed. By limiting the number of litters, the health of a female
Pomeranian is preserved and birth defects in Pomeranian puppies are reduced.
RULE #4
Stagger
Litters between Heat Cycles
When a female Pomeranian has
whelped a litter of puppies, a heat cycle is skipped in the mating process so
that the uterus has time to properly recover from pregnancy and nursing puppies.
"Staggering" or skipping also helps preserve breast health in female Pomeranian
dogs.
RULE #5 Spay all Females after whelping the third and final litter.
